Make all curves "Curved Path" and eliminate "Simple Curves"
I propose to eliminate "simple curve" from Valentina.
Why? Sometimes through bad planning or change of philosophy about a pattern, a user may want to change a simple curve into a curved path.
Right now this is almost impossible unless you know how to hack the .val file.
I propose therefore to delete the "Simple Curve". A Simple Curve can be Curved Path with only 2 points. This would be much more flexible and allow the designer/patternmaker a lot more freedom. If later the user wants to add a point to the Curved Path with 2 points, he can do so and make it a 3 point curve.
We would also need to find a way to give user the ability to add points to a Curved Path after the Curved Path is already made.

reporter Difficult to say. Critical for me? yes. Critical for users? Probably not.

Account Deleted After long consideration, I'd like to fully support this proposal.
I just had to rework the entire centre front of a jacket pattern because of one mistake early in the build - going for a simple curve instead of a curved path.
So it is a real use(r)-case.
I don't remember the exact math differences between the two, perhaps this could be an option on import if the conversion is destructive or non exact. Otherwise I can't justify existence of simple curves to myself when playing devil's advocate. OP's case is solid.

Is it critical?
